However, I finally decided that I enjoy blogging too much to cut it out of my life, but it did need a change. This place has been the home to 1,060 posts and numerous years. I've shared a lot on here, which is why I won't be deleting it.<br />
<br />
I am excited to share my new blog with yall (in case you haven't already stumbled upon it). I plan on keeping some things the same, but giving it more of an updated and mature feel, which I just didn't think I could do here. I hope you visit the new blog. It's still a work in progress, but I'm looking forward to what it will eventually become.<br />

It had it ups and downs, like any year. It brought great things, like a puppy and sad things, like my aunt passing away. It was full of life changing events and learning experiences and questions.<br />
But 2014, I'm going to try to make you my best year yet. I'm going to focus more on being happy and positive- on being proactive and focused.<br />
<br />
Before I say hello to 2014 though, I want to say goodbye to 2013.....<br />

There's such thing as "parenthood" and because my brain is already on break without me, I decided that teacherhood was an appropriate made up name/title for what I do.</div>

It can also have many meanings..... you know, when you teach in the hood...</div>

While this school year has been a tough one and has consumed much of my time, so it's the little things that have helped me smile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My kids can be so extremely sweet and their hugs and sweet notes always brighten my day. But one of my favorite things, is what they sometimes turn in. Funny answers, honest to a fault answers, smart ass responses, and pictures that make you second guess yourself. </div>

There honestly just isn't much to share lately (at least that's good). Call me a debbie downer, right now I'd just go with it. I'm trying my hardest to get through this rough patch of life, but I feel like my head is barely above water. </div>

Lately this place has been quiet. I've thought about posting, but then when I sit down to do it I just can't figure out what I want to say or share. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
October has been my favorite months for awhile. It always holds a fresh start (Fall) and lovely traditions. It also has a particular day that I look forward to every year in hope of something good occurring on it. (See <a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2007/10/anticipation-leads-to-confusion.html">here</a>, <a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2010/10/101010.html">here</a>, <a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2011/10/52-lists-in-52-weeks-week-19-1010.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2012/10/thoughts-on-finally-being-teacher.html">here</a>.) But October has brought me only 2 things- one good and one terrible, horrible, no good, very bad thing (I got that from <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day-judith-viorst/1100238460">this cute kid's book</a>,fyi). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good- my little pup turned the big 1!! I can't believe she's not a puppy anymore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bad- Steven and I broke up. I'm still trying to put into words how I feel about this and I just can't seem to manage the appropriate ones. It's a difficult situation after a 3 1/2 year relationship. And while I am putting this factoid out there, I don't plan on discussing it here. But life will be extremely different and I guess that goes for this little blogger space too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned......</div>

This past weekend I met this fabulous lady and her adorable pup to take some beach photos. I love how her fun and sweet personality shows through some of these pictures- and I'm so happy to share a few of my favorites!</div>

So life lately has been insane. Even weird. And sad. But there's been some good too. (Could I get any more vague?)<br />
School has been busy and some stressful, but I'm taking it day by day and praying more. And some of my kids are the sweetest and make me smile (see the last photo).<br />
This past weekend I got a phone call from family in Alabama, telling me my aunt, who has been struggling with her health, passed away. It was a hard thing to hear, especially since our family is already so small and we use to be so close. The funeral is this coming weekend, and while I'm glad I will get the chance to pay my respects, I'm also a bundle of emotions about it as well.....<br />
And the good? It's not my news, but I'm so very happy for my friends. One is getting married this Friday!!!!! And the other found out she's pregnant (hence the 2 bouquets of flowers photo above).<br />
And then there's the rest.....fantasy football, trying out a costume for Chloe, getting new classroom books for my students to read, flowers and cards from my friends and co-worker friends, photoshoots and great news: my first <b>paid</b> photoshoot in a couple of weekends!!!!<br />
<br />
And that's been my life. Ups and downs, goods and bads. As is life I suppose.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> During middle school (and even some high school) my parents got separated, divorced, and then my dad passed away shortly there after. So suffice to say, my parents thought it would be best for me to see a therapist. For the most part I hated it and I hated talking to a stranger about my problems. I did gain a helpful piece of advice (if that's what you want to call it...). He told me to keep a journal and whatever I write down, to follow it up with a list of good things that happened that day (and to write them in a different, bold color ink- so it would stand out). What I realized, was that the more I focused on the positive, the more positive I became. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not very good at keeping a written journal anymore (no matter how many times I make it a goal), but I do have this blog. And while I've tried to write mostly positive here, I'm not always good about sharing my everyday good. So why not start a new series?? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So here it is.... (for however long it lasts).</span></div>

The smile on my student's face was absolutely priceless as she showed off her new backpack to me was priceless.</span></span></span></div>

I've loved this bible verse for as long as I can remember. It holds such power and promise to it. It's a source of comfort and a great reminder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also a tattoo of mine.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend I went to see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jase_Robertson">Jase Robertson</a> speak at a local church here in Jacksonville. And it was amazing. His topic was "Faith, Family and Ducks" which I think is completely appropriate for him and his speech. And while Jase had some awesome one liners, like "Kill and grill, so says the Lord", personal and hysterical stories, and reasons why having facial hair is a plus (so no one robs you), it wasn't just his message that spoke out to me this past Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2010/11/thoughts-on.html">Church</a> is something I've talk about before. As is <a href="http://getthewordsout.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-z-g-is-for.html">my idea of God and faith in Him</a>. But this verse, the songs from worship, and then Jase's message all hit close to home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One song verse that was my favorite from praise and worship this past weekend was "If God is with us, then who could stand against us" which is taken out of Romans 8. Just like Deuteronomy 31:6, it's such a bold and powerful statement. Especially when I feel so overwhelmed, which lately I have been. Sometimes it feels as if the world is against me, and at times it feels like that list even includes myself. I get bogged down with everything going on and feeling like I'm barely keeping my head above water. But then there's this verse (or I should say these verses). The entire bible is a promise of God's enduring love for us and these few lines are only a few examples of it, but what a wonderful reminder they have been. If I am working for the good of God and His plan, then who could ever be more powerful and derail that? If I have God on my side, how could I ever be alone or afraid?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But perhaps that is what I am struggling the most with right now. Am I following God and His plan for my life? Or am I selfishly trying to create my own plan, my own path? And why oh why is it so hard to give up that control, when I <b>know</b> His way is always better? I know that these are thoughts Christians struggle with on a constant basis, but I hate knowing that the reason for these thoughts is due to the fact that I have lost touch with Him and His plans for me. I haven't trusted Him and followed Him like I should. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And maybe, that's one of the biggest reasons I am so thankful for fellow Christians, and for the bible itself. I needed that reminder this weekend. I needed a swift kick in the butt. And I needed to get my focus in the right spot again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only way I won't get bogged down is by making sure I'm aligned with His path and thank goodness He knows better than I do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I guess if you actually stayed and read this entire post, you might be wondering what in the hell the point of this thing is. (I was beginning to wonder myself actually.) But it is this..... so many people don't believe in having Christian fellowship (which can mean church) or reading the bible, but this has served as a vital reminder that it necessary. I'll be the first to admit I am awful about taking the time these days, or waking up early, but that doesn't mean I should cut it all out altogether. Because that's sadly what I've done and I feel lost for it. And maybe you think differently for your life, and that's fine- I'm not here to tell you how to live or think or what to believe. I simply am trying to figure out how I need to live and what I think and believe. And so, I post it here not as a sermon or way to shove religion or God down anyone's throats, but to remind myself the reason and purpose for my being. To remind myself of the promise and love God has had for us (and even hypocritical, messed up me) and will continue to have even though we stray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that this topic can be a controversial one, and while I thought about not posting something so personal, I realized that this blog is about me (and who am I kidding, I'm probably the only one that reads it, haha). And what I wanted to share today, what I needed to remember today, was how I felt after Sunday's service and how I now crave change from it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not and will not be a person who strays away from sharing my faith online simply because it might offend. If this topic is offensive to you, I apologize and let you know that just as I have the right to write it, you have the right to not read it. And that's okay. We don't have to agree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I won't always post things of this nature. But for today, I have. And that's that, I guess.</div>

However, they were ugly and I decided that I needed to do something to revamp them before putting them up in my room. Weeks went by, then months and I had some ideas, but just nothing I really wanted in mind still. Those stupid lamps are finally in my classroom this year, but they <b>still </b>are not restyled. Nope- they are just as is in my room.<br />
<br />
So I decided that I needed to do some inspiration research to try and find cute ideas to steal. The thing is, I'm not sure how much time and money I want to invest in these. Or even what style to go with.<br />
<br />
But here is what I've come across so far..... any suggestions???<br />

It's almost here....my favorite time of the year.<br />
I'm not sure when it became my favorite, but it has won over my heart. I know that Fall is pretty much everyone and their mother's favorite time of year (especially with bloggers) but I'm okay with being on the bandwagon for this one.<br />
It's the beginning of so many things.<br />
School begins (which can be a good thing and a stressful one, but it's a fresh beginning) and it makes me think of bouquets of freshly sharpened pencils (You've Got Mail).<br />
Football season is here!!!!! College football was this weekend (and I'm trying so hard to stay up to watch as much of the FSU game tonight as I can) and for the first time ever I got to have my own fantasy football team!<br />
Plus, I'm over this warm Florida weather- I can't wait for sweater wearing weather!<br />
Halloween is around the corner (and it's one of my favorite holidays and full of so many traditions).<br />
And then there's Thanksgiving- the one holiday completely about food and family (and the one time of year I get to go home to Pensacola).<br />
I'm excited for this new season to begin. I'm ready for Fall smells and decorating, Halloween chilli night and wearing my football colors!!<br />
I'm also pumped for Chloe to wear her cheesehead for Green Bay games!!!!!!<br />

Here were a few on my list.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8t_8JmAx6bR6uJ48ujA-ozhdEy9Vq5wSZkmiATkNjOQ3fnoNjAQxnhLt-xA6Tx3I1aHNCddWSxFVSrLBO298ouYQWHJ-8GoHgnSUX59TRo1-MixSoUyBkwLCM27en8sCmO4BLfW9GIUxM/s1600/book+thief.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8t_8JmAx6bR6uJ48ujA-ozhdEy9Vq5wSZkmiATkNjOQ3fnoNjAQxnhLt-xA6Tx3I1aHNCddWSxFVSrLBO298ouYQWHJ-8GoHgnSUX59TRo1-MixSoUyBkwLCM27en8sCmO4BLfW9GIUxM/s400/book+thief.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19063.The_Book_Thief"> The Book Thief.</a> An amazing and incredible book. I just finished it and I'm a little sad. I'm a huge fan of WWII books, so I really looked forward to reading this one. To make it more unique (which appealed to me even more) was that it was a different view point than most are. I can't say enough good things about this book. While it is sad, it is so heartwarming.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRwhEifqPgvsN0uBvxS-z6yqZi3kfBt_dCMSUsnB-UvxW50XBG8YFv_zZeIosUW9KN-Z_CAw0bJw5myuzrP2CJMtK0uZWYm_TPnEBQWPEcyvfhJhmoGj0gC9YM2pE9-Ddx5kkEdBPMFcO/s1600/17402117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRwhEifqPgvsN0uBvxS-z6yqZi3kfBt_dCMSUsnB-UvxW50XBG8YFv_zZeIosUW9KN-Z_CAw0bJw5myuzrP2CJMtK0uZWYm_TPnEBQWPEcyvfhJhmoGj0gC9YM2pE9-Ddx5kkEdBPMFcO/s400/17402117.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17402117-branded">Branded</a>. A wonderful book, that while it is a "teen" novel, even I as an adult thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing wasn't the absolute best, and it wasn't as detailed as I would have liked (and maybe even needed) but the story was extremely interesting. But beware: it's supposed to be a trilogy, but the authors just finished this book, so it will be awhile before the next come out. (This made me a little sad).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/series/41963-black-dagger-brotherhood">The Black Dagger Brotherhood</a> series. Okay- I'll admit it...these would be classified as "trash". And they definitely are adults only. But one thing I love reading in the summer is chicklit and this series was up my alley. The series as a whole has 12 books and I can't wait to take on the next one on my list (10th!!!). Some of the language annoyed me (huge buff vampires shortening words like "addy" for address or "deets" for details. But the stories were intriguing and I love that each book in the series highlights another character, while still incorporating all of them.<br />
<br />
Any good read recommendations from yall??<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So today was the first day back to school. I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would (but plenty enough, trust me). Thanks to my friend Kelly (seen below) I got an idea together on how to dress the part of a pirate, which is our schools theme. I had so much fun with it and the best part was that everyone in the school seemed to have. The adults and kids alike were all excited for this new change and theme. I think its going to be the beginning of something great!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(PS my hair looked amazing before I had to put it up from being in the 90 degree heat. I also have on awesome boots to complete the ensemble, just thought you should know.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And speaking of my awesome friend Kelly..... this past weekend we took a lovely (and quick) trip to Miami. We hung out with friends and her family and most wonderfully of all.... we went to the Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z concert. I think I may be even more smitten with JT now. He's just such an incredible performer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yea, the picture below is our excited to see JT faces. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then to cap off the end of a good first day, I had dinner with my sweet and beautiful girlfriends and then came home to awesome mail (which included these two books)!!! So excited to put them to good use and craft. It probably won't be until Winter Break though.... this school year is already crazy busy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you follow me on instagram or facebook I'm sure you've seen this picture (and the follow up video). Honestly this cute pup has so many weird traits. I love her all the more for them though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But her newest thing has been dragging blankets out of their basket. She pulls them out one-by-one and brings them into the living room. It was cute the first few times, but it gets a tad annoying putting them back all the time. I guess the next trick will have to be putting them back. Won't that be fun to teach her! haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would be a great (and maybe unique) trick, right? So far she only knows sit, stay (which most of the time she likes to ignore) lie down, shake, and high five. I'm trying to teach her wave and getting no where with playing dead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any of y'all have awesome tricks you've taught your animal??</div>

This week I am back in my classroom (well in a new classroom) setting up for Monday. I've moved rooms, organized, crafted, and created one too many bulletin boards (I had 8 total). I may be tired, but I'm getting more and more excited about this coming year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I seriously love our school's theme. Everyone is so into it- I can't wait to see the kids' reactions. </div>

Well, as of this past Monday summer is over for me. This week consists of teacher training, next week is pre-planning (and I get to set my room back up!!!) and then the following week the kidos come back to school.<br />
It's funny, the other day I took Chloe to the dog park and it was completely empty- I guess everyone is back to work. It's kind of sad....while I am looking forward to a new school year, I love summer and I hate to see it go. But alas, the last of my pool days and sleeping in during the week as ended. However, now I have some other things to look forward to....bouquets of freshly sharpen pencils (please tell me you know what movie I'm referring to), cooler autumn weather, scarves and jackets, football and pumpkin spice lattes. Fall is my favorite season and I'm really looking forward to it!<br />
<br />
So, good-bye summer. Thanks for the wonderful memories and awesome suntan!!<br />

P.S. Can you tell what my school theme is this year??

This weekend some of my girl friends and I celebrated our friend Chelsea's upcoming marriage by taking her out on the town. We started with a pool day and ended in St. Augustine with dinner and drinks and trying to cross off Chelsea's bachelorette list. </div>

Now only just a couple of weeks until Chelsea's wedding!!</div>
